"Every time we fall down, we get up, and grow stronger."

I know that, but it's still hard
Things don't always go according to plan

Sometimes something you took for granted suddenly disappears

And you're left thinking

"What happened, what did I do?"

It's hard to imagine
that something you take for granted
could ever disappear one day

But it can
And it might

And when it does
It feels like an empty hole
In your stomach
Or heart

You miss it
You want it back
You pretend you might still be able to have it
But you know it's gone

So here's my advice:

Don't take things for granted

Live in the present always

Enjoy what you have right now
Even what annoys you

Because if it's ever gone one day
You're going to miss it.
